You skip the 40g+ of sugar and stop starting your day with dessert

2

Authentic chai gives you warmth and clarity

Real chai contains a depth of flavor you'll never find in coffee shops. The natural wellness elements of the bold tea and warming spices give your body and mind the fuel it needs to start your day.

3

You know every ingredient going into your body.

Coffee shop chais are filled with maltodextrin, silicon dioxide and artificial flavors. Kolkata Chai is made with 5 honest ingredients, all of which come from the earth: Black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper and cloves. Real ingredients with nothing to hide. That's a level of transparency your grandmother would be proud of.

4

Making chai gives you a grounding, meditative morning routine

A simple six minutes with Kolkata Chai can be the ritual you need to create calm and concentration before starting your day. It's informed by the ethos of Eastern spirituality, made for today's lifestyle.

"I make it every morning without fail. The 6 minutes is the most peaceful part of my day."

What tea lovers have to say

OVER 2 MILLION CUPS OF KOLKATA CHAI enjoyed

"I had 'chai lattes' from all my local coffee shops and thought that syrupy, sweet, barely-there-tea-flavor was the way chai should be. Once I tried Kolkata Chai, it was a whole new wonderful experience. I didn't know I was missing this."

Jules G, Verified Buyer

"I loved the richness and smoothness of the tea. I've had others and they have a bitterness end note β€” but with yours I tasted the real cardamom. The blend is just perfect with notes of cardamom, cloves, pepper and cinnamon."

Deborah T, Verified Buyer

"Best chai. I don't like most chais because they are too sweet. This has great flavor and doesn't include the honey or sweetener. I love that I control the sugar amount. It's so good I don't even need to add sweetener β€” and I always add sweetener."

Michael V, Verified Buyer
